In regards to feeling good, I’m one of those people who will continue to experiment until I feel the best I could possibly feel. Or till I die, whichever comes first. I didn’t realize that I felt crappy for the first 24 (or so years of my life) until I started to feel better. I …

I’ve been really busy playing outside for the last few days—it’s not every spring that the sun shines in March in New York state! Walking…playing, and just sitting. There’s this feeling like I have to soak it all in, just in case it goes away. I have more photos from today, but my …
I’ve been trying to think of a way to make cereal that doesn’t involve any grains. Or much sugar. And really, this kind of stumped me because low-sugar and no-grain cereal doesn’t sound very good (can it even be called cereal?). Today I came up with a cross between granola and cereal…and it was chocolate …
I love it when I read a quote and it really clicks with me (or when it makes something really clear that I should have been aware of already). Similar to last week, I’ve been finding a theme in my work over the past few days. Being a wellness coach is an interesting job because …
Aside from being more social this past weekend than I normally have time for, I also have been feeling kind of…um, spendy lately. I go through phases—when I don’t spend any money at all (except, you know, on things like gas and food), and other times when it’s just flowing out as fast as (or …
This post is dedicated to my friend Petra. Because we finally got together today—went to a yoga class (Vish’s yoga, sometimes misunderstood in conversation to be Vicious Yoga), and then spent almost three hours in Starbucks reaffirming why we’re friends. Side note: I drank too much coffee today. My dinner last night with Carol was …
I used to be a die hard Shamrock Shake fan. Now, the thought of buying something from McDonald’s doesn’t appeal to me, and neither does the ingredient list for the shake (I heard McDonald’s milkshakes are dairy free—is that true?). Today, I thought I’d try making my own version of a Shamrock Shake, even though …
Today was one of those eat-what’s-in-the-house days. I dug around a bit, and came up with these: I worked early, went to the gym…and then I really needed to eat lunch (at 10:45 this morning). Sweet Onion Sliders with Roasted Tomatoes and Blue Cheese For the burgers: I used a mixture of ground bison …

Today, I wellness coached all morning (it was a great morning of talking to people, by the way! Lots of awesome blood pressure readings, good health updates, and positive attitudes/conversations). Next, I came home and worked some more…and after all that, I needed a break before I go to meet another client tonight. So, naturally, …

I finally finished my elimination diet. It felt like it took for ever, and I’m pretty sure I know why. When it was time to add in nuts…I didn’t really want them. When I added a food back in, I would try to eat it three times a day, but I kept forgetting (maybe accidentally …
